(1,002 posts)Now before the entire board jumps me, let me state right now that I am a feminist and a lifelong (well, at least since I was old enough to reason) Dem. The younger women here still suffer from a lack of a good education and they often have blinders on due to the fact that they never have lived in a more sophisticated community. What they would tell me when I asked how on earth they could still support Trump despite his pussy-grabbing ways and talk, is that Bill Clinton was just as bad - after all, didn't he almost get impeached due to the Monica Lewinski thing? I know, I know. All sorts of things wrong with that way of thinking beginning with blaming Hillary for any escapades Bill might have had. But that was how they thought of it. They just take it for granted that men - especially men in power - are disrespectful of women and they just shrug their shoulders and put up with it because that's what their Moms did/do and that's what everyone seems to do. So many of these young women are so lacking in self-esteem. Beating up on them and calling them names is NOT going to make things better.
